About Boutique Hotel Germania
In a fantastic position just steps from Munich’s main railway station, the Germania Hotel Hotel has a long history of showcasing the talents of cabaret stars. Today it offers comfortable accommodation in an unbeatable location.
The rooms are sleek and modern, and feature private bathrooms, hair dryers, satellite TV’s and telephones. Each is fitted with soundproof windows to keep things nice and quiet. A paid Wi-Fi pass is available from reception.
The reception is open 24 hours, and staff there are always happy to offer information and recommendations to guests. There is direct access underground parking available.
Breakfast is available daily, while there is a small lobby bar where you can socialise over a drink.
The central location means that most of the amenities, cafes and restaurants guests need are within walking distance. Munich’s raucous Hofbräuhaus, a focus during Oktoberfest, is just one mile away. The popular Olympic Park area is 3.2 miles to the north.
Positive Reviews
positive:
Convenient location for the station
While guests do not have a very high opinion of the neighbourhood itself, all concede that the location is supremely convenient. Munich's main station is just a 10-minute walk away. Many guests choose the hotel due to this proximity, since it eliminates the need for a cab, or the use of complicated local transport, when first arriving with their bags.
positive:
Good low-budget option
Guests find quite a few problems with the Germania Hotel, but many insist that it is exactly what they wanted, considering their budget. They seem to accept the problems for what they consider good room rates.
positive:
Hearty breakfast
Several guests were very surprised that the breakfast was not just a couple of rolls and a cup of coffee. They describe it as a substantial buffet, and it really seemed to set them up for the day.
Negative Reviews
negative:
In very loud neighbourhood
Perhaps the most widespread negative comment is that the hotel is situated on a road that is exceptionally loud at night. Guests speak of constant emergency vehicles with sirens blaring passing by, and also of a lot of shouting and disturbances outside at night.
negative:
No air conditioning
Somewhat tied in with the noisy neighbourhood, guests also point out that there is no air conditioning in the rooms. Naturally in hot weather they become hot and stuffy, but guests are reluctant to leave the windows open at night due to the constant noise outside.
negative:
Smoke odour in rooms
The Germania has both smoking and non-smoking rooms, but a surprising number of non-smokers comment that their non-smoking rooms smelt strongly of smoke. It seems there is some confusion or inability to assign rooms correctly. In any event, asthmatics and other who dislike smoke should double and triple check their room.
